The El Salvador President famous for investing their national treasure into Bitcoin turns out to be a c**t.

Quote

El Salvador has considered legalising medically necessary abortions as part of a constitutional reform package, but plans were scuppered last September by a decision made by President Nayib Bukele.

President Bukele had previously defended such changes to the abortion law during his 2018 presidential campaign, however, saying that he was completely against criminalising women who suffered miscarriages.

Although polls have suggested that a majority of Salvadorians would support legalisation of abortion in cases of non viable pregnancies or when there is risk to the mother's health, there is strong resistance led by conservative politicians and religious leaders.
As a result of Bukele's U-turn, women who suffer miscarriages can still be imprisoned in El Salvador. As recently as May this year, a woman who suffered a miscarriage, identified only as "Esme", was sentenced to 30 years in jail.

It appears that there was a state of collective denial along the lines of “surely it’s not going to go below 20K” that propped the price up for a week

There was a previous similar plateau where it hovered around 30k for a month

It’s as if the market has little idea what the actual value is but is convinced it should be a nice round number

Turns out 20k seems to be a nice enough round number that everyone has been able to believe in it for a few weeks. The next round of mania or depression must be due soon

That first guy who put in £2200 and watched it grow to around £500k before collapsing to £300 is going to spend the rest of his life tormented by the fact that he could have retired for life if he had just controlled his greed for the few minutes it would have taken him to cash in at £500k.
Gamblers gonna gamble though.
Any sane person would have thought "maybe I'll bank some of these gains just in case" but as you say a lot of people fall foul to the addictive gambling side of markets and the volatility of crypto adds to the appeal.

You wouldn't laugh at someone who lost his job, house and wife to an addiction to betting on horses, but it seems crypto loses are fair game to be mocked for.

I've got sympathy for anyone who fell for it, like you would for anyone who got conned, but not so much those who were still crying "buy the dip" and "hold on for dear life" as they fell down the plug hole.
